EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.All communications Intended for this column(mould bo wUlittuod to J. It. O'N. llolloway,I'.sq.. who has kin Uly consented to edit It.Road and Study.How many of out- teachers arc subscribers to educational periodicals?Very lew, we fear, and yet bow necessary they arc for the improvementbf the teacher in his profession. Unless tlic physician reads and studiesperiodicals councctcd with his callingin order to keep abreast with themany improvements and the rapidstridc3 of the science of medicine, hewill prove himself an unworthy disciple of Escnlapius. The minister who'expects to fulfill a grand missionmust bo able to solve the intricatemysteries of revealed religion andkeep alive to the upward and onward march of the church, or he willfall far short of his mark. So withevery profession of life. And theteacher, if true to himself and to theinterests of those whom he instructs,must keep up with tho progress ofhis profession, ami to do this ho mustsupply himself with books and periodicals and read them. The greatactor, Salvini, once said to his pupils :"If you would wield a mighty power,the Inundorbolt of oratory, study,study, study ; all the genius in theworld will not help you along withany art, unless you uro a hard student." We need not make the application, for every sensible teacher willreadily sec the point.A New Sea.It is known from careful measurements of M. Kondalrc, that a largepart of the desert of Sahara is a largebasin, having a surface level lowerthan the Mediterranean Sea. In thatpart of the' desert south \of Algeriaand Tunis, this depression extendsabout 3,100 square miies, which isequal to the a?*ca of the Stales ol Delaware and Rhode Island. Into thisbasin it is proposed to admit the waters of the Meditei'ancan by means ofa canal from the Gulf of Gabcz, thisyoung sea having a depth of one hundred feet in sonic places, averagingforty feet, with an aiea of half ofLake Ontario. Physical geographersanticipate important climatic changesin the vicinity from evaporation andprecipitation, and in all probabilitywill allocl the climate nnd productionsof all southern Europe.Equal Education.More than one thousand young women have graduated during the pastmonth, from Vassar, Wellesley, andother institutions, a fact which showsthat tho higher education of womanis receiving a small share, at least,of that attention which its importancedemands. Let's have educated daughters along with educated sons. Somemay doubt the propriety of co-education of the sexes, but equal educationis an accomplished fact,ai d this is oneof the hopeful signs of the times.A minister was ridding through asection of the Stale of South Carolinawhere -custom forbade innkeepers totake pay from the clergy who stayedwith them. The minister in questiontook supper without prayers ot grace,and was about lo take his departurewhen mine host presented his bill."Ah, sir," sa'd he, *'I am clergyman!" ^'That may be," respondedBoniface, "but you came hero, smoked like a sinner, and ale and dranklike a sinner ; and now, sir, you canpay like a sinner.General Sherman, who burnt Atlanta and Columbia, ami who is nothing but an educated vandal, is opposed to introducing collar ornament toindicate rank because the Confederates wore them. Eh, hem 1 Thismoves that unappreciated paper, theRichmond Slate, to say: "That'sright, General; for wc should hate tosec you wear the badges of honorthat distinguished such true soldiersof Lee nnd Jackson frommen of yourcommoner mould."It is not woll for teachers to lovetheir pupils uucqually; or, if they do,they should not show it, for one willhe made proud, the other envious,and both foolish.
